New Delhi: Taking a dig at the media, Congress President Sonia Gandhi today (Nov 27, 2005) said it tends to give less importance to achievements and positive stories.

"Some sections of the media tend to give less importance to achievements and positive stories," Gandhi said addressing a function to mark the 57th Raising Day of the National Cadets Corps.

Quoting first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Gandhi said grow strong in mind and body and have the inner urge to do big things.

"Success does not come suddenly or without setbacks. So you have these great opportunities in India. Prepare yourself for them, grow strong in mind and body," she said quoting Nehru.

Earlier this month, Gandhi had chided the media for thriving on negative reporting.

"Good news in media is rarely news. In fact, it probably means bad business for media," she had said.
